Chandigarh, May 18

The Springfield Police Department in the US state of Colorado took to Facebook to report a bizarre incident where a man after being pulled over for over speeding blamed his dog claiming that it was driving the car.

Notably, cops stopped a car for surpassing permissible speed limit, i.e. 30 mph on Saturday. The man to evade arrest switched the driving seat with his dog and claimed that latter was driving the car.

When summoned over his inebriated state he ran from the officers.

He, however, was booked under several charges and the dog was handed over to one of his acquaintances.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
